sputtering problem HELP

Ok so for a while i have had this sputtering problem like the car is going to die (but it never does) when i turn the ignition on and start driving it. It gets better as the engine warms up, but still continues to sputter like something isnt igniting right. I just purchased and installed new fuel injectors...can anyone help me?

Is it running rich? Blowing smoke? Is it a turbo or n/a motor? Did the new injectors change anything?

Have you checked the ignition timing? Then I would say Cylinder Head Temp Sensor, and also check your Throttle Position Sensor. It could also be related to your Ignition Module, but start with the timing.
